[woman]
Previously on
"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta"...

Girl, we're gonna
work out out today,

I even left my glasses
at home and everything.

[man]
Work it! Keep going, keep going!

Rotate, rotate, rotate.

That's enough.
Come on, let's go!

We got [bleep] to do.

I do got [bleep] to do,
that's why I'm finna go.

I'm saying that you need
to lose a little weight

to be more healthier.

I'm talking to you...
[both shouting]

Come meet Shima.
Hi, you got a phone?

Say, "What's up?"
Has he got on drawers?

Pull-ups?
[child babbling]

Excuse me,
are you yelling at me?

I decided to invite my ex,
Joc, to my engagement party.

I feel like we've been
together for some time.

Let's let the world
know who we are.

I have the perfect event
that I think we should attend.

It's an engagement party!
You know what it is.

You know me and Bam,
we don't want no negativity,

we just want everything
to be cool.

Here it is.

This is our house?
This is our house.

As long as you want
to come down here and stay.

Oh, how sweet.
You ain't gotta wait.

You don't curve your way
into this goddamn house.

I curved my way into what?
Yes you have!

You are crazy.

So let's say you really
want to lighten your skin color,

you would need to get
a psychological evaluation.

You're not even helping.

I'm going to excuse myself
and take my bag.

You've never been
in my shoes!

You look like a white woman
trying to be black right now.

[patois accent]
It's the same thing!
You get your breasts done!

You've never been black
so you don't--

I am black!

I was born black!

I ain't ever been nothing
but black!

Hey.
Are you Ace?

I'm Tokyo, nice to meet you.
I am. What's up, Tokyo?

So you're here to do
a fitness assessment

and consultation today.
Yep.

So after I kicked Sierra
out of my house,

I felt a little bad.

But I've just been
thinking about

how I wanted to lose weight
and do things my way.

So I called Che
to talk to her nutritionist

because I need to show
these hoes I could do this.

What would you say
your number one reason

for coming into
the facility today is?

Well, mostly, um,
toning up, and I mean,

it don't really matter
what size you are, like,

you can still, like,
keep a healthy lifestyle.

Do you feel
like you healthy?

Like, do you feel good?
Yeah.

How old are you?
24.

So when you're 44, though...
Right.

Then what?

Based off of my life,
I've never had any health scare.

And I don't have high blood
pressure, I don't have diabetes,

I don't have high cholesterol,
like, I don't have any of that.

You ain't lived
that long yet.

If you need meal planning tips,
preparation, I can help you.

What I can't have?Cheese.

Oh!
Eat vegetables twice a day.

So I can't have snacks
at the studio no more?

Yeah, you can have nuts.

Huh? Nuts.Fruit.

What's a snack for you?

Okay, you know how I Cheetos
when I snack on.

I need the hot fries,
you know what I'm saying?

We can't do
no junk food, though.

Got to have my Capri Suns,
for sure.

Ain't nothing
but 100% juice in them.

How much sugar?

That ain't got
nothing to with me.

Capri Suns got 100% juice
and I'm juicing.

Nah, baby, we're going
to cut Capri Suns.

What!?

When you were referred
to me by Che,

obviously she's concerned.

I feel like they should
be concerned with themselves.

I don't want to hear
from anybody

who's had any
surgical procedures,

you cannot tell me
anything about weight loss.

♪

[singing]
♪ Happy birthday, dear daddy

Hey.
♪Happy birthday to you ♪

Hey, that was so sweet.

My boyfriend Made Man
is a rapper

and he's the father
of my child.

We had Ginger two years ago

after our trials
and tribulations,

we had family dramas,
we had some infidelities.

But we're always
working on it.

Just something...

for the evening.

You know it's out tonight,
right?

When I come back.

When you come back
from where?

You know, we got to see

how we're mapping out
the video, you know,

this is a big one,
you know?

The last song,
you know what I'm saying,

so we're in there so big,
I got to try to go even bigger.

After Ginger was born
I took some time off from work

and I helped Made Man
follow his rap dreams.

But I have my own dreams.

I'm coming back.

Like, what time, though?

I would say at least
probably about one?

It is my birthday,
you know, the fellas,

they want me come through,

I might just slide through
real quick.

I want to be here, but you know,
baby, this is, you know,

what I'm doing for us
and for this family,

you know what I'm saying,
like everything's gonna pay off.

It's just a little...
you know, a little grinding?

Whatever. Whatever it takes,
I guess, I'm there.

I like that, I love that.

I'm kind of bummed
that Made Man

can't spend
his birthday with me,

but he has been the one
that's holding us down.

I wish we could just
figure out a way

for both of us
to be working.

♪

But since I got
all these cupcakes

and I really can't eat 'em,
I gonna call Shekinah

and hopefully
she can resist them with me.

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh yeah,
that's what you wanna do?

Girl... girl, what's up?
How'd you get in here!?

I just walked
the [bleep] in.

Hey, Gingi!
Gingi's over here lit!

Girl, who gave y'all ass
candy today?

Girl, you know I did.

Well, you look cute.
Thank you.

What's up?
Girl.

Russ just left,
today is his birthday.

He said he had to do

some pre-production thing
for a video, so...

It is what it is--
what's the saying?

You let 'em do
what they want

so you see
what they don't do.

This what I want
to tell you, though.

You know, the other day,
we was at the workout,

y'all bitches really
went too hard on me and Toe.

Well, I didn't want y'all
to think that, you know,

I was putting
pressure on y'all.

It hurts so bad.

Once you get through
them little...

It hurts so bad.

Well, once you get through
those little obstacles.

you'll be fine.
It hurts so bad.

It's a real big transition
coming from, you know,

eating what you want,
doing what you want,

to actually having structure.

Who you talking to?
I'm a mother.

Oh, yeah, that's different.

But when are you going
Wednesday and Thursday

back to the DJ booth?

After Tokyo's party,
I'm really feeling it,

so I'm going to try
to get out there.

DJ-ing is, like,
the really, like,

only outlet
that I've found.

How do Made Man feel
about you being a DJ?

He'll be supportive once
he starts seeing things come...

He have to see it come first.
I have to get a situation

because he's so into
his thing right now.

You know I'm happy that
you came back to your DJ gigs,

'cause that's
what you need to do.

You should talk
to Made Man about it.
Yeah.

I'm going to go ahead
and talk to him.

[Shekinah]
Che Mack ass
got to get back to work.

This is the modern world

where the rent
is expensive,

daycare is expensive,
kids...

Need both of the parents
working in the household, okay?

And you need to let him know
that the baby needs a nanny,

and she need to be
an old nanny

because you don't want no young
bitch in here with your mam.

I gotta get a 50--
Fifty-year-old woman stuff
get hot.

You might need
to go older than 50.

[sirens wailing]

[Spice]
Ever since my blow-up with
the girls at my photo shoot,

I've just been laying low.

I haven't really
talked to anyone since.

But I still stand by.

Black hypocrisy
is definitely an issue

that needs to be tackled
head-on.

I really like...
Hello, hi.

What's up, Spice?
What's up?

[Spice]
So I'ma come to talk to Joc,

because he's super connected
to Atlanta's Hip Hop community,

and he know a thing or two
about public criticism.

So what's going on
with Spicy?

So much.

With me,
it's just my kids.

You know, I've left my kids
behind in Jamaica with my mom,

so it's like I made
a huge sacrifice

just to leave my home
in Jamaica

and come here in America
by myself and-- you know?

So it's kind of hard
for me as a mother,

balancing, you know,
everything.

I don't have
a management team,

and the reason I'm here

is because I have a song
called "Black Hypocrisy"

I just wanted to talk
to you a bit

because I know you've been
in the business for a long time.

So I would...
Black hypocrisy.

I believe I need
to address the issue.

I believe that oh, they say,
"Black is beautiful.

Love the skin that you're in,"

but they're the same ones
that will say,

"Oh, she too black."

Oh.
To make my statement,

I want to actually come out

as a lighter skin,
to prove my point.

'Cause it's like
you put out the song...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm going to show you a picture

of how I'm expecting
to look.

How many [bleep]?

Ah, that's a whole
other person, though, man!

You're gonna be-- what?

Hell-- is this you?
Is this you?

That is me.

So you're figuring
to go all the way Sammy Sosa,

you're figuring to do it.
I'm want to go all the way.

[Joc]
This is my opinion.

Spice is beautiful
just as god made her,

and I'm just really not sure
this little light-skin thing

looking back at me in this photo
gonna be in her best interest.

Help me understand
what you're trying to do.

In Jamaica when you bleach
your skin they praise it.

It's not as taboo as it is here.
Oh. Right.

...in America.
It's a little different.

Like, I'm the biggest female
artist from Jamaica right now,

so I have a big platform
so I believe

like I need to speak out
for the other dark skin women

so I can show people that this

is what you are causing
women to do.

Okay. Spice, do it.

If you believe 100% that
you're gonna make a change

for the greater good
of humanity, go.

All gas, no brakes.

But you can't just
jump off the building

without a parachute.

Make sure that you have crossed
your t's and dotted your i's,

because want you don't
want to be is a laughingstock

of the person who tried
to prove their point,

but further made themselves
look stupid.

[man]
Coming up...

[Joc]
Spice came into the station.

She's finna bleach
her skin... white.

I never told Tokyo she was fat,
that never came out my mouth.

I told her she needed

to take this weight loss journey
more serious.

I don't wanna hear nothing
about weight loss

from nobody who laid on
no table, like...

Don't fall into the [bleep] trap
and bleach your skin!

I don't want to be on one level
for the rest of my life.

The people that love you

are going to think you're
selling the [bleep] out!

♪

[men whooping]
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Oh, yes, Kirk.

Oh, yes, boy.

Jesus.
[laughing]

Boy, yeah.

Whoo!
That boy on your neck!

[Scrappy]
Man, it feel good
to be out today.

And I ain't even do no
go-kart speeding

and riding and hitting
each other and all that.

But my foot's still smashed,
you know what I'm talking about?

Bam overdue, man,
ready to explode.

She done with me
being excited.

Man, she done sent me
out the house, too,

want everybody out, man.

But, hey, I'm chillin' and
just kickin' it with the guys.

He's trying to get you--
oh, he let him go!

He let him go!

[engines revving]

Stop, fools,
stop, stop, stop.

Whoo!

Ha-ha!
Hat's off to me!

You know what I'm saying,

because I'm the winner of this
race and this thing called life,

you know what I'm saying.

Scrappy lucky he ain't have to
get behind me,

eatin' none of this exhaust.

My kart went by
and I said...

[slowly]No...

I couldn't get in there
with y'all

because I ain't mentally
ready for that [bleep].

But you figured out
how to go through the curve.

That's how I like
my women, too, curvy.

Oh, Lord.

What been going on with you man,
with them women, anyway?

Curvy.Curvy.

The women--
there ain't not even no wo-men.

That ain't how it sound
on the radio.

What-- what you mean,
Kirk?

I was riding in the morning
and I heard you cracking jokes

about Karlie.

You and Karlie
back together?

...some Indian giver-type trick.

You know what we're
talking about before,

the whole she's sitting
Indian style...

I don't want no problem
because my situation

different these days,
you know what I'm saying.

What you mean?
Feeling better.

You look better.

Oh, Kirk.
[chuckling]

But anyway, my lady, I'm like,
[bleep] looking nice, I gotta...

Keep up your joint.

I mean, who are the ladies,
though?

You know,
my lady Kendra.

You haven't
seen her before,

you just ain't know
because I beat y'all move.

So is this real?
Bro, yes.

She, she got my attention,
straight up, I ain't gonna...

What she do?
She's an attorney.

An attorney.

[Scrappy]
I'm lost.

So my cousin Joc has a whole
love life, girlfriend

that I ain't knew nothing about,
you feel me?

I kind of feel
like he been lying to me.

Now, you weren't going out
with her and stuff like that

while you was
with Karlie.

Well, it's kind of like--
Did the relationships overlap?

It was overlapping.

The crazy part
about it, though,

she heard about the invite I got
to Karlie's engagement party.

I think this would be a good
time for us to go public,

that way everybody will know
that your affairs are in order.

Wow-- hoo-hoo!
Ain't nothing for nobody else
to worry about.

You need to just go and keep it
one thousand, bruh,

because you're traying to act
like not telling Kendra is,

like, really [bleep]
rude to do.

Because Karlie's gonna
use that against you.

You know Karlie'll
do something,

just shout something out
one day.

She might be around,
she'll do some crazy [bleep].

For real,
you might want to just

keep that [bleep]
all the way clean.

Why I gotta go to Karlie's
engagement party?

None of these other guys
are being dragged out.

And then I gotta
bring my girl?

Yeah, there was a little
overlapping shh going on,

but me and Kendra's solid.

And I'm just trying
to hold my place, you know,

trying to stay
on my square, man.

The thing that I want
to know, like,

how does Rasheeda and Jasmine
get along, like, are they cool?

Nah, we ain't got
to that level yet, man,

we just got Kannon in the house,
Rasheeda's family met him.

It's just different
from having a kid

that you raised
in your household

and then one you got to bring
and introduce into your house.

How's Jasmine's family
dealing with that?

How is that going?

Kelsie be getting them
and always got to go to her mom

and her grandmom to get them
and I'm like, damn,

are you putting in time
with Kannon?

Can you be a little more
of a mom?

I don't need
if I'm being over...

you know, stepping
my boundaries.

No, Kirk, you gotta do that
like how you did baby Karter.

I want to kind of sit down
and try to holla at them,

you know what I'm saying?

Some kind of dialog.Yeah.

I think that's big of you.

I don't know if y'all--
have y'all heard them talk about

this new song Spice got?

This whole "Black Hypocrisy"
[bleep]?

Nah.

Spice came to the station.

She's finna bleach
her skin... white.

Oh, wow.

She looks like a whole
other person.

Is it real?
No, it's Photoshopped.

She really trying
to do this [bleep]?

I just think that
she want to show people

just how the system
really works.

She feels like
the lighter you are,

the better you're
treated, so...

[Kirk]
That's true.

I think that's right...

No, no, no, no--
they treat us bad.

I feel... I, I understand,
like...

I mean, y'all,
y'all married

and I don't want to ask
y'all this, but--

Ask me.

I mean,
would you hit Spice?

I didn't think
you were gonna ask me that!

I mean, you know what
I'm saying, she's dark skinned.

I ain't gonna lie,
if I saw a light--

if I was a single man
and, you know...

You'd smash it.
Huh?

"Huh?"

Honestly, I would smash her
light or dark.

So look, what I miss, please?

She came to my house, trying
to check me behind my lifestyle,

telling me about how I need
to lose weight

and I ain't eating the right
[bleep] and I'm fat.

I never told Tokyo
she was "fat,"

that never came
out of my mouth.

I told her she needs to take

this weight loss journey
more serious.

As serious as her.
Because she ran out of

the gym the other day
when we was all working out.

Because, Sierra, I didn't want
to work out with you no more!

But you don't want
to work out with her?

Because she stand up there

Yeah, I've laid on the table
a couple of times.

But as of right now,

the more healthier way.

I mean,
there's heart diseases out here,

there's cancer out here, there's
all kind of stuff out here,

so we have to work on
being a healthier us.

I'm not saying
you need to be skinny.

I love you the way you are.

I'm not telling her

I don't want to be a two.

I just said
you need to be healthier,

Really?

Oh, yes, I got an offer
to be a resident DJ

at the hottest club

But for me to take this offer,

Made Man's gonna have to make
some compromises

The club open at ten,
and I'll be done by 3:00.

I need help.
It's all good, it's all good.

You deserve, you know what I

I can't keep on depending

Now it's time to depend on me,
you know what I'm saying?

You know, we're gonna work at
that, you know what I'm saying?

All right.

I'm so happy that Made Man
is compromising with me

in this situation
because he knows

I need to make my own money.

Our relationship is on
a positive note right now,

to keep that momentum.

Hello.
Hey, how are you?

How are you doing?
I'm well.

[Kirk]
After all the little things

about Kannon and how
he's being raised,

I was gonna confront
Jasmine on it,

but I know that's gonna
be nothing but an argument.

I figure since Kelsie's
always picking up Kannon

from his
grandmother's house,

I felt like I'll reach out
to Jasmine's mom

and just check in and see how
my son is being raised myself.

I feel like we're in
a decent place, I just

have a little concerns,

you know,
sometimes Jazz is partying,

and this is my concern,
like,

I'm mad at her because
she might hit me and say,

"I need to go do this,
I'm going to a party in LA

and I just need you
to watch him."

But I just wanted
to make you guys aware...

Yeah.
As y'all are in Kannon's life...

a lot more.
Hey!

Hey, Jazz.
What's going on?

Hey, Jazz, we're having
a little conversation here.

Yeah.

I see.

Kirk's dumb ass thought
that mom and grandmother

was gonna have
a conversation with him

without telling me
that he was coming over?

So I thought that
it would be more productive

if I just swung by
and cut out the middle-man

so we could get
to the bottom of things.

So we've been talking
about Kannon's well-being.

Just chopping it up about
how he's taken care of.

Mm-hmm.Kirk had a little concern

because he thinks
you party a lot.

What gives you that impression,
that I party a lot?

Well, I don't like when I get
a text or get a call

saying from Kelsie, like,

"Hey, um, you need
to get Kannon right quick,

I need to fly to LA because
I'm going to a party."

That happened one time, once.

Right, right, right.

You haven't been there
for any holidays,

you haven't been there
for any birthdays.

You want to post family first
on Thanksgiving.

I just don't like it
when I feel like I'm working,

busting my ass,
and you hitting me with,

"I need to go party
so you need to watch him."

You're not even
around enough for me--

for you to tell me
that I party too much.

Kirk just recently
got involved with his son,

and he wants to call me out
on my parenting?

He needs to become a father

before he can even think about
commenting on me as a mother.

I just want you to have more of
a relationship with him.

I spent
a lot of money on Kannon.

First of all, money doesn't
make you a father.

Okay, so here's another issue.

I feel like why is he still
wearing a pull-up?

Because he's two years old.

Yeah, yeah.
And he's a boy.

But here's my point...
Well, let me ask you this,

where are all these concerns
coming from?

They're coming from me
spending more time with him now

and him spending the night.

You know,
I get pushed even at home

to make sure you're doing
your job as a father, so...

So you don't got nobody
in your ear?

I mean, for real.
Is somebody--

is Rasheeda asking me, what
is he doing, yeah, she may ask,

"Dang, why is he still
wearing pull-ups?"

You need to get on it.

She even saying to me,
you need to make sure you...

It sounds to me like
you're taking baby steps

because of Rasheeda
when it comes to Kannon.

Not-- that's-- no,
that's not true.

[Jasmine]
If Rasheeda has
these many concerns,

why not have a conversation
with me about it?

Especially when Kirk
is sending his daughter Kelsie

to be the middle-man
on how we deal with Kannon.

Something needs to be
worked out

because he needs to really
visit more often.

I will do my best,
I agree.

And let's work on being
in contact.

You need to have
a direct number.

You want her to get
in contact with each other.

Why can't it be
something direct?

Work on that, seriously.
I'll work on that.

[man]
Coming up...

Whatever it is that
you're going through,

my baby's being
induced today.

I'm just wanting peace
for the kids, mainly.

She's using her platform
as white face to make her point.

Because if I stay blackface

you're not gonna get
the point, Mimi!

[Momma Dee]
After Scrappy gave me
a lecture at his new house,

I've been really
trying to be better.

So when Cece invited me
to lunch, I said, okay,

I'm a little hungry anyway.

What you call me
here for, girl?

Well, I called you so that
we could squash all this mess.

Whatever it is
that you're going through,

my baby's being
induced today,

we're fixin'
to have a grandchild.

Yeah.
I'm just wantin'

peace for the kids, mainly.

I think you're right,
I think you're right.

I do want to apologize
for my actions.

I really do.
And I accept your apology.

Well, thank you.

But what I need you
to know, Dee...

Mm-hmm.
Is I'm here to stay.

I'm not just visiting.

This is home now.
Okay, cool, cool, cool.

I just need you to know this.
Okay.

Can I order some wings
before we go to the hospital?

We're gonna have wings
at the peace treaty, really?

Yes.

I'm not so sure
that I'm good

with Cece living
at Scrappy's house.

I'm not even good if she move
to Atlanta permanently.

But for the sake of the baby,
Scrapp and the Bam,

I'm willing to make peace
with this.

Well, here's to us.
This is too much stuff to eat.

I got to get back
to the hospital.

Let's go, girl.
Mm!

Can we get this to go?

♪

[Mimi]
It's been weeks
since I talked to Spice,

but now that I have my personal
business taken care of,

with Faith and Stevie,
I can go back

and handle my friendship
business with Spice as well.

Hi, Spice.
Hi, Mimi.

[Mimi]
I invited Spice to
the Sweet Auburn district today.

It's rich with history,

all about
the Civil Rights Movement.

People here fought and died
to be considered equal.

I want Spice to know
she shouldn't have to change

the color of skin
to be accepted.

I wanted to first
apologize on my end

for everything
that I did and said.

I appreciate that and I want
to apologize to you too.

I think I want to be able
to explain myself, um,

more calmly
and in a better way.

All right, well, we're gonna
start here, come, come.

Come with me.

[Spice]
When Mimi called me to meet her

down here today
I agreed to come.

We are friends, and if I can't
understand where my friend

is coming from, then there's
no way I'm gonna even understand

some of the criticism that
the public will have for me.

But at the same time, I just
really hope that my friend

can understand why I'm doing
what I'm doing.

This area, Sweet Auburn, was
where people, you know, marched,

and black African American
businesses

were all owned up and down
this street.

[Spice]
So this is where it started,

this is where basically
the Civil Rights and everything,

this is where it started.
Right here.

Well, I wanted to take you
down to this museum,

let's walk down here, I wanted
to take you down and show you

a little bit of,
you know, our black culture,

and just to give you
just a little insight.

Spice and I may be having
our cultural differences

on skin bleaching,
but people in America

have always tried to fight
through the discrimination.

So I set up a tour
at the Madam CJ Walker Museum.

Black history
is celebrated here

in the name of a woman who
pioneered black beauty products.

I hope Spice can see
that Americans fought for us

to be proud
in our black skin.

Welcome to
the Madam CJ Walker Museum.

My name's Ricci, I'm the Curator
and Artistic Director

of this incredible space.

Nice to meet you.
Thank you very much.

My pleasure.
Let me let you know,

this is an original

Madam CJ Walker beauty shop
from the 1940s.

[softly]
Wow.

The beauty tools on display
were left in here.

That being said,
let me talk about the present,

because on the internet it says
Madam CJ Walker invented it.

This tool was used
in France before she was born,

but what she did was take
the original pressing comb,

which had fine teeth
for Caucasian hair...

Okay.
And look, Madam CJ Walker...

made wider teeth so it could
go through Negro hair.

So that's why
Madam CJ Walker's name

keeps getting connected
with the pressing comb.

I got ya.
That being said,

if you turn around and see
this wall of vinyl behind you,

upstairs, above this studio

was the first black owned
radio station

in North America, WERD.

It's the station
that Martin Luther King used.

This place is rich
in history.

The women
of the Civil Rights movement

would've gotten
their hair done in here.

During
the Civil Rights movement--

So what did women used to do
to their hair?

They used to try to straighten
their hair with a comb?

It was designed to release

the amount of stress
in the curl.

No stress in that curl.
...just to get control.

Ain't no stress
in that curl.

Man-- do you style hair?

Black hypocrisy--
you see, I tell you?

Black hypocrisy,
I keep telling.

It's going to be an argument
to the end...

She have her own way of thinking
about it, no matter what.

I brought you here to strictly
teach you about American culture

and what we went through
as black Americans

here in America.

And all I'm saying right now
is how they invented the attire

to change the texture
of the hair

so we could probably
fit into the system.

But trying to turn
ourselves white

is something
totally different.

That's a US perspective,
trying to turn yourself white.

Jamaicans are doing it--
they're not trying to be white.

It's different.

It's just a style, just like
you have an accessory...

Bleaching is an accessory
over there, period.

Their social structure
is different.

And if you could
get a job at a bank,

she might not...

But she's using
her platform

as white face
to make her point.

But if I stay blackface

you're not gonna
get the point, Mimi!

If I stay this way and post
on my page every day...

No, ma'am,
I disagree with that.

I disagree with that.
Thank you, thank you.

I disa-- no.
Thank you for your time.

I really...
No problem.

Thank you for this lesson.
We'll continue this discussion

at another time.
I'll be back-- yes.

I wish I could stay longer.

Yeah, I want to talk to you
outside, please?

[Spice]
Black hypocrisy's not just
about your skin color,

it's also your hair texture,

and I think a lot of people
need to know that.

And here we go again,
the straightening iron,

as I see, was another way
to straighten your hair

so you'd have
a different appearance.

Let's be real here.Okay.

Let me explain something to you.
Yes.

I believe that some--
not all--

some black people,
they're very hypocritical.

Madam CJ Walker, you know,

the French invented
the hot comb.

Right.She was the first one

to use it to straighten
the kink out of the Negro hair.

But she was still promoting
black is beautiful.

But you're taking out
the reality.

And nobody wants to talk
about it but me.

Going through it
as a darker skin,

I feel like I need to use
my platform to talk about it.

Not everybody is strong enough
to take the bashing--

Are you strong enough
to take this bashing, Spice?

I am. I know that I'm speaking
out for something

that has been swept
under the rug.

My kids are still in Jamaica,
they live in Jamaica.

I'm here, on the road,
trying to make it.

And you think being
a lighter skin will help you...

Society plants that,
I did not.

The people that love you
are going to think

you're selling
the [bleep] out!

No.
Yes!

You're a lighter skin,
and you are privileged

because you are
a lighter skin.

My mother marched down
these streets to be black,

to be proud to be black!

Don't fall into the [bleep] trap
and bleach your skin

and do just what they're
saying you should do!

Make them [bleep] feel dumb
for criticizing you!

Are you gonna have
a neck job?

Yes, I want a neck job.
My color?

I wouldn't give a [bleep]
if it was the color

of this lady hair
on your shirt!

One day when
she comes home and say,

"Mommy, I went outside and this
is what happened to me,"

then you're gonna know what
the [bleep] I'm going through.

Have a good day, Mimi.
You know what, Spice,

I just don't like what
the [bleep] you're doing!

It's also a great place

going on with Miss Spice.

What's going on, honey?

You know Spice is supposed
to be going live in a minute.

Girl, what is she doing?

You know I met with Spice

because I was feeling
real uncomfortable

and real uneasy about
how we left things off.

Yeah, that [bleep] crazy.

I took her down
to Auburn Avenue

and I just wanted
to give her a bit

of our culture and history.

Taking Spice on
a black history tour

definitely did not go
the way I'd hoped.

Now she's supposed to be
going live on social media,

and I for one,
am not looking forward

for what she has to show.

But wait a minute.

What's up with the fam?

Honestly, it's been a lot,
I would say.

Mm-hmm.

Being that Kannon
spends a lot of time

with his grandmother
and great-grandmother,

I was discussing with Kirk,
I was like,

well, why don't you go
and talk to them?

You know, 'cause it's
a difficult situation.

Correct.So, um, he told me that, um,

he would do it, and he did.Mm-hmm.

They're getting on a page of,
you know,

trying to work out
how to do

this whole co-parenting thing,
minus her ass,

I just expect for him to be
clear on the communication

Bitch, you [bleep]...

I know.
I've been so ramped up

arguing with Sierra ass
that I missed something.

Why the [bleep]
is Spice white?

I'm mostly called black
by my own race.

I try to please them,

so I'm going to see what
they have to say now that...

because of them, I've changed
my complexion a bit.

The last time I seen Spice,
me and her both

was finna whup
Freddy Kruger ass

for tellin' her that she
needed to change her look.

And we both agreed that she
didn't need

to change her look,
so I'm baffled.

Girl...

This cannot be real!

[both talking at once]

Girl, this is Spice
official.

Spice done went white.

Is this the right way
to approach this situation

that's happened
in your life?

Maybe something you want to get
off your chest that's topical?

Get it off your chest
and keep pushing.

Because what threw me off

was her saying she was
contemplating on doing it.

Me too.

[Mimi]
I can't tell you how
disappointed I am in Spice.

Looks like taking her
on this black history tour

just went out the window.

I know Spice wants to level up
in her career,

but she's successful
as a dance hall artist.

I don't see how
bleaching her skin

is going to make her any
different or more successful.

At the end of the day,
all these [bleep] for men.

Like, men be putting it
out there that light skin

is the right skin
and that's what they like

and so all these hoes
is just, you know,

they're not liking it, so...

Next time on
"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta"...

[Spice]
I'm doing it for a cause,

I'm doing it so black community
can understand

that they are leading
a lot of people to bleach.

I don't think you need to change
[bleep] about yourself.

So are you still considering?

No, wait, hold on, I was
gonna say when it came up.
